NOZZLE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 29, 1915.

' Application filed July 21, 1913. Serial No. 780,268.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that-.I, EMIL NELSON, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, and State ofOregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNozzleHolders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to hose nozzle holders, and has for its obj ects toprovide a very simple and inexpensive wire hose nozzle holderwhich canbe conveniently applied to the nozzle end of a sprinkling hose andcarried thereby when the hose is put away or is being held in the hand,said holder being adapted to fold along the hose lengthwise thereof andto be held in place by a part thereof which is quickly detachable fromsaid hose, to provide in such a hose nozzle holder a construction havinga single to be thrust into the ground with a short off-set prong whichacts, not only as a foot piece by means of which it can be pushed intothe ground, but which acts as a means for preventing the holder fromturning and changing the direction of the nozzle whenever the body ofthe hose is moved.

In order that others may understand my invention, I have shown on theaccompanying sheet of drawings one practical form thereof, which I willnow describe.

Inthe drawings,-"Figure 1 is a side elevation showing my improved andsimplified hose nozzle holder in use; Fig. 2 is a cross sectional viewthereof taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 shows how the holderis attached to the hose lengthwise thereof to prong 6, formed at beingaccidentally as to change theidirection of the hose nozzle.

be carried from place to place, or stored away when not in use.

The hose nozzle holder here shown comprises a body portion 1, here shownformed of twisted wire, a hose holding loop 2, between the parts ofwhich the hose 3 can be a prong 4, ground, as in terminates in adownwardly projecting a distance from the main prong 4-, whereby toprevent the holder from turned in the ground so The off-set loop 5serves as a foot piece for conveniently pushing the prong 4 into thegroun and also as a holding or attaching means for attaching the lowerend of the holder to the body of the hose when not in use, thus maln'ngit convenient to put the holder away with the hose. If desired, the hoseholding loop 2 can be used as a handle by means of which to hold thenozzle end of the hose in the hand for sprinkling purposes, and also forchanging the position of the hose from place to place.

Thus I provide a most simple, practical and economical hose nozzleholder, and while I have shown but one form thereof, I am aware thatmodifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit ofthe invention, and I do not limit the invention to this particular form,except as I may be limited by the hereto appended claims.

I claim:

1. A hose nozzle holder of the character referred,,to comprising a bodyhaving a hose holding loop at its upper end, a prong at its lower endand an off-set loop intermediate its ends adapted to be hooked aroundthe body of the hose, for the purpose described.

2. A hose nozzle holder of the character referred to comprising a bodyhaving a hose holding loop at its upper en a prong at its lower end andan off-set loop intermediate its ends adapted to be placed around thebody of the hose and terminating in a downwardly' depending prongadapted to be thrust into the ground to prevent the holder from turning.

3. A hose nozzle holder of the character referred to comprising a bodyformed of twlsted wires with their upper ends formed into a hose holdingloop, one of said wires being made into a prong at its lower end,adapted to be thrust into the ground, and another of said wires beingformed into an off-set loop adapted to be placed around the body of thehose when said holder body-is positioned lengthwise of said hose,substantially as shown and described.
